(SOS FORM 0012-07/12)
This information is intended as an aid to qualifying a foreign corporation to do business in the state of Oklahoma pursuant to the
provisions of Title 18, Section 1130 of the Oklahoma Statutes. PLEASE CONSULT THE STATUTES CAREFULLY.
The Oklahoma General Corporation Act applies to all corporations except those expressly excluded (see reverse side of this
instruction sheet) and those for which special statutes are in existence with which the provisions of Title 18 may conflict.
NO foreign corporation shall be formed or licensed under this act for the purpose of engaging in farming or ranching or for the
purpose of owning or leasing any interest in land to be used in the business of farming or ranching.
FILING PROCEDURES:
1. Prepare and file with the Secretary of State one (1) signed copy of the certificate of qualification.
Attach a certificate issued by an authorized officer of the jurisdiction of its incorporation evidencing its corporate existence.
This certificate is most commonly known as a Certificate of Good Standing, Certificate of Existence, or Certificate of Fact
(Texas) and is usually issued by the Secretary of State’s office within such jurisdiction. This certificate must be dated within
the last sixty (60) days. If such certificate is in a foreign language, a translation thereof, under oath of the translator, shall be
attached.
2. Pay to the Secretary of State a MINIMUM filing fee of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00). (Title 18, Section 1142)
Profit Corporation: The fee is one-tenth of one percent (1/10 of 1%) or $1.00 per $1,000.00 of the maximum amount of capital
invested by such corporation; provided that the minimum fee is $300.00, and no such corporation shall be required to pay a fee
on an amount in excess of its total authorized capital (TAC). The TAC is figured by multiplying the number of shares by the
par value of each share. If the TAC is $300,000.00 or less, then the filing fee is $300.00. If the TAC is greater than
$300,000.00, the fee is an additional $1.00 per $1,000.00. If the Invested Capital is more than the TAC, pay ONLY on the
TAC. If the TAC is greater than $300,000.00, you may choose to pay on the Invested Capital, if it is of lesser value; however,
the entity shall be required to file a certificate every year on the anniversary date indicating the maximum amount of capital
invested in the state. No Par Value stock is valued at $50.00 per share for determining filing fees only. (Title 18, Section
1142)
Not for Profit Corporation: The fee is $300.00.
3. Make checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders payable to the Oklahoma Secretary of State. Instruments may be
mailed, delivered in person, filed on-line at www.sos.ok.gov, or faxed to (405) 521-3771. The address of the Secretary of
State is 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Room 101, State Capitol, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73105-4897. If delivered in person,
there will be an additional Twenty-five Dollar ($25.00) fee for each document filed same day. The Secretary of State accepts
Visa, Discover, MasterCard, or American Express if filing in person, on-line, or by fax; however, there will be a four percent
(4%) service charge added for the use of a credit card. (Title 18, Section 1142)
If filed by fax, a cover letter with the following information must be attached: the credit card number, the expiration date, the
name on the card, the amount you authorize this office to charge, and a return address.
